Baby Carriers - a baby and parents' best friend

Tweet

One of the things I most look forward to when I've got a little baby on the way (which I finally do--woot!) is snuggling them up next to me in a baby carrier. I don't know why, but there's something really special about it, especially when they are fast asleep and you can tell they are in total bliss next to you.

Obviously, I'm not one of those parents that uses a baby carrier all day long, but out of all the supplies to get when a baby comes along, a baby carrier/sling is at the top of my

Guess What?!

When I mentioned SnoozeShade several months ago many of you asked me when their breathable blackout shade for playpens would be available.

Well,  the wait is over. You can now get

Mother-Ease Swim Diaper

Tweet

A few years ago I looked into cloth/reusable diapers. While I still haven't found an everyday cloth diaper I love (and consequently my use of them isn't very consistent) I have found a swim diaper I love, the Mother-Ease Swim Diaper. I really can't image going back to disposables now.

Not only do we go swimming tons (even if it's just a dip in the kiddie pool in the backyard) and save tons of money that way, but I also love how comfortable, easy, cute and non-chemical filled reusable swim diapers are. Even my husband

Plush Pacifier Holders

Tweet

I love plush pacifier holders. They keep the pacifier in a young baby's mouth and they help baby more easily retrieve the pacifier and replace it when he is older. They are a lifesaver for parents of pacifier using babies and toddlers. They often turn into a baby's

BreathableBaby Crib Bumper - Product Review

Tweet

When my oldest, Joshua, was born, I used the average run of the mill crib bumper. You know, the ones that are soft, a little cushiony and super cute. I put it in the crib and put my baby in the crib and stood back and looked at how cute it all was. Then I started to worry. I knew about the risks

SnuggleU - Product Review

Tweet

The SnuggleU (the blue pillow like thing cuddling my son) wraps around baby making him feel snug and secure--just like in the womb. It is made of memory foam so you can fit it to baby no matter his size, with or without

Philips Avent DECT Baby Monitor

Tweet

Before my son Jacob was born I looked into getting another audio baby monitor. Last time I bought one I got whatever looked good at Babies RUs. Let me tell you, that was not the best decision I have ever made. Not only was the monitor full of static, but my neighbor informed me, while chuckling, that she could hear my son talking to himself while playing in his room. I was not nearly as amused as her about the situation. In fact, I was

My Brest Friend Deluxe Pillow - Product Review

Tweet

Ok, so My Brest Friend has a seriously silly name, but it is AMAZING. This is one of my all time favorite baby products. I wish I'd had it with my first child. It makes nursing SO much easier. The boppy is great for an older child (and nice because it is more compact and has so many other uses outside of nursing), but my brest friend is a thousand times more useful for a newborn. I can't say enough about this. Everyone that I've suggested it to has RAVED about it.  It really is that good. And there's even one for twins.

Halo Big Kid's SleepSack

Tweet

I loved using the halo sleepsack when my son Joshua was younger and was so excited to hear that Halo was making a sleepsack for kids 2-5 years old. I can't believe it took me so long to find out about this!

It came in the mail just in time. My son recently moved to a new bedroom which gets really cold at night and he is still too young to know how to keep his covers on. This bigger sleepsack was just what he needed. He loves to wear it (see the cutie above:), he doesn't take it off in two seconds like his other pajamas because the zipper zips in
